Meet the Riveras

Hey Friends!

We’re Brendan and Ashleigh, the husband and wife duo behind Rivera Media Co.

If we were sitting together over coffee, we’d probably tell you that this whole thing started long before we ever thought about owning a camera.  

For me (Brendan), it began back in 2017, when I started photographing little family moments; birthdays, dinners, holidays, just trying to hold on to the details that time was already taking.  A health scare made me realize how fragile and precious life really is, and somewhere in that season, I fell in love with storytelling. Not the polished kind, but the kind that reminds you how good it is simply to be here.

A few years later, I met Ashleigh. We were sitting side-by-side in church, completely unaware of how beautifully God would weave our lives and passions together.  Shortly after we got married in July of 2023, she picked up my camera one day, chased our cats around the living room, and somehow turned play into purpose.  Before long, she was capturing births, families, and all the raw beginnings that make life so full.

Through faith and falling in love, we both learned something simple but sacred: people are worth celebrating. The laughter between vows, the quiet hands before “I do,” the chaos of family pictures that always ends in giggles, all of it matters.  Photography became the way we honor that truth.

So  Rivera Media Co.  grew out of gratitude.  It’s our way of saying,
this moment counts.  When we’re behind the camera, we’re not just documenting a scene, we’re honoring a story.

We show up with laughter, patience, and care so you can breathe, be yourself, and actually live the memories you’ll want to hold onto later.

If that’s the kind of experience you’re looking for, we’d love to tell your story next.
